Posterior lens subluxation with hypermature cataract, dog

A hypermature cataract is subluxated in the vitreous chamber of the right eye of a dog. Vitreous strands admixed with asteroid hyalosis (white particles) protrude through the dorsolateral pupil, where an aphakic crescent (area on left where the tapetum can be visualized) is visible. Note the flash artifact.
